Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil or more
6-7 fresh leeks
2-3 scallions, thinly sliced
2-3 garlic cloves, grated
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cups Arborio rice
5 cups water or broth
1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or to taste
2 teaspoons salt
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cut the dark green portions off of the leeks and discard them. Cut the leeks in half and slice into half moons. Place them in a bowl of cool water and swish them around. The dirt will sink to the bottom.
Lift the leeks from the water and place them in a stariner to drain. If they are still dirty, rinse them one more time and drain.
Add the onion and olive oil to a large skillet and cook over medium-heat until soft and golden.
Add the leeks and cook until softened. Season with a pinch of salt.
Add the garlic and warm through for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add scallions and cook until softened. About 1 minutes.
Add the rice, water, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the dill and toss together.
Serve with lemon wedges and drizzle with some Greek olive oil. Kali Orexi!
